Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team BUSY, BUSYTOWN was unseated this week as CHILDREN OF LLYR moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-2-0 record for the round. FARON caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested DANGEROUS CRIMINAL and was awarded 9 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, KUNG-FU MASTER put down KAI, causing him to lose 7 points of recognition in the process. Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, FATHER CAT has lost the title of Duelmaster. The city has turned out in honor of NOREASTER, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the city! Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out! Many and various are the arts of battle. In MURSKA "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! MURSKA, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is THE BEARS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of DIRT DEVILS are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. CADAL COONTZ take warning! You have more than a few enemies in MURSKA. I can not but mention with disdain the name of NOREASTER who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 9 points below in the rankings. I thought NOREASTER showed great skill and promise when he won victory over CADAL COONTZ. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand ready at your right hand forever! Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this! If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times already in MURSKA. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME NOREASTER 3896 11 1 1 107 DIRT DEVILS (363) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -FATHER CAT 3875 14 2 2 118 BUSY, BUSYTOWN (360) -BUMP 'N' JUMP 3929 14 9 1 113 FLIPPERS ARCADE (366) -DINGO DOG 3878 15 3 3 97 BUSY, BUSYTOWN (360) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -TAKE COVER 3870 13 4 3 86 THE BEARS (253) -DIG DUG 3926 17 9 1 85 FLIPPERS ARCADE (366) CADAL COONTZ 3901 13 21 0 85 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) -Q*BERT 3928 17 8 4 81 FLIPPERS ARCADE (366) KAI 3873 18 24 0 78 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FARON 3954 5 0 0 64 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -TYPHOON 3895 4 1 0 53 DIRT DEVILS (363) -JUNGLE KING 3930 10 15 0 45 FLIPPERS ARCADE (366) -MR.

Well, it completely scrambled my brains, what there was left of them after (gag) whatever it was I drank last night. -- Kai Father Cat -- What does that come to? A tom-cat with a sense of responsibility? -- Cadal Coontz Jungle King -- Somewhere there is a jungle that is lonely for you. -- Faron Pitfall Harry -- You should have realized that the maintenance crew wasn't going to let you dig a pit in the middle of the arena! -- Balin Can I fight Persistent Beggars all the time? -- Belgo 3 May 2006 All -- I've seen what's on the forum. So I'm prey, am I, Max. You and all your devious buddies will become my prey, even those I thought okay. I don't have to explain anything I do, much like yourselves so bring it on. Feel free to come over to 31 for a thrashing. Oh, by the way, I am also in a new alliance. They tend to share my sentiments about the VC. If they follow me or not, we will see; I'm not at liberty to talk for them. The VC may be on their last stand!!!! -- Blackstorm 6 May 2006 The 2006 Mordanti Alliance Olympics are off to a grand start! With seventeen teams declared, running under eight different flags (not to mention six additional non- Olympic teams present), it is looking to be as tough as any previous Olympiad, if not more! Olympians petitioned the Commission to make an allowance for late entries, and the Commission agreed, and will allow new entrants to partake, as long as they are active by Round 3 (T546, due May 29th). So if you wish to enter, please email your intentions to amicitia@gwi.net with team name, manager name, and affiliation (alliance name or independent), or show up in Mordant (DM-1) on, or before, May 29th and place your declarations in the newsletter!
